Eye of the storm.
We are still expecting rain for the next five days, but there is a break until this evening. I transplanted some of the peppers and my first okra plants. I never grew okra, since it never grew well on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Here everybody grows okra, so I never bothered until this year. While notContinue reading “Eye of the storm.”

Back to the grind
Moved some of my first transplants, and a few plants I bought to their permanent homes. Getting ready to go back to work after a three day weekend.
